I’m a senior researcher at the Sociology department at the University of Helsinki. I received a PhD from the Centre for Digital Anthropology at University College London in 2017.
I study how people use digital media for political purposes and to understand current events. I also develop new methods for making sense of large, openly available datasets.
I am currently working on the following topics:
- How images from conflicts are translated into evidence and are included in reporting (project page)
- How meme communities focused on political theory developed new ideas (project page)
- Mapping out European communities on unmoderated platforms such as Telegram, and building open infrastructure to facilitate their research (project page)
